New YORK, Aug. 25.-The New Yorks downed
the Chicagos here to-day in great shape. The
people turned out in a multitude to see the Chi
Cages for the first time since they have been
humping things" They played rather loose
game, but the Giants in fine form and de-
feated them easily. WEIGH was in great form.
Rainey, the new third baseman for the home
club, played frst-class game, and if he keeps
on playing well as he did to-day, the Giants
may be congratulated on having secured so
strong a player. His fielding perfect, and
he will prove to be a strong batter. He started
off by making a two-bagger. and was enthusias-
tically applauded Sunday, in the sixth inning,
made fine running catch of Tiernan's fly to
right field. which went clear to the fence. The
fielding of Sunday and Herman very fine.

Trinity never looked prettier than now, in it's Christmas dress of pine and laurel. Two weeks are usually devoted to this work, but, in four days, much tasty work has been done. Entering the door, six streamers of running pine and laurel are seen festooned from the chancel arch, the largest of which is over 100 feet long. The tablets are hung with smaller wreaths and the same material is arranged on each side of the chancel. On the right side is 'For unto you Is born this day Savior, which is Christ the Lord;'' on the left, Behold l bring you glad tidings of great joy" At the back of the altar is "Emmanuel;' on the right of the chaneel is "God manifest in the hesh;" on the left, The Prince of Peace. The font is filled with cross of English holly, while reading desk, lectern. pulpit and ehancel are prettily trimmed with princess and squirrel pine. The gal lery front bears the inscription, 1.-The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us" surrounded by princess pine. Much credit is due those who had charge of the decoration for their skill and taste.
